All of this. Wonderful. Relatable. Cheerful and poignant. Tempted to send you a photo of my Kitchen.....

See you and raise you - mine is 1970s, brown lino, brown wallpaper, brown cupboards. Except for one that fell off ...

The Odyssey was pretty good. Any movie that doesn't send me to sleep gets that rating. Low bar I know.

I tried hard to click on the hearts...both of them and tried clicking on the "click on the heart" message....but nothing worked.

I feel as useless as a discarded stainless steel kitchen bench in Karori.
